Since I've run out of space outside but have extra space in the greenhouse in the summer, it was a good option. Jean was eating fresh tomatoes from her greenhouse in December. We'll see what there's space for once the fall migration begins.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-32477992932061900122015-06-04T21:43:10.927-07:002015-06-04T21:43:10.927-07:00We too have driven by that nursery many times and ...We too have driven by that nursery many times and have never stopped.

I'm so jealous of your tomato. I have lots of flowers on my cherry tomato, but no fruit yet and certainly none that re ripe enough to eat. I love that a ripe tomato is something to get so excited about that you had to put an addendum at the top of your post about it today!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
